Karamehmedovic succeeds Kim Godwin, who exited the network in May.
Almin Karamehmedovic, the longtime executive producer of 'ABC World News Tonight With David Muir,' is the new president of ABC News, where he will be facing pressure to improve the division's financial performance. Debra OConnell, president, News Group and Networks, Disney Entertainment, announced the appointment Monday. Karamehmedovic will oversee day-to-day operation at the division and report to OConnell.
She also oversaw significant cost-cutting that led to the exit of many longtime executives at the network. Ratings of 'Good Morning America' started to slip under Godwin's watch, but all of the broadcast networks are losing viewers as younger consumers look to online sources for their news and video content. The same challenge faces Karamehmedovic, who will likely be asked to reduce costs at the network's news division.
